Sponsorship Demonstrates Company’s Continued Community Support

Evonik Corporation’s Tippecanoe Laboratories in Lafayette, Ind., announced that it has contributed $12,500 to the 2016 Taste of Tippecanoe, a local fundraiser held by the Tippecanoe Arts Federation. This year’s event will take place on Saturday, June 18.

Evonik’s 2016 Taste of Tippecanoe Platinum contribution marks 20 years of support from the company for the event.

“As one of the area’s largest employers, we are so proud to support our hometown’s creative arts culture,” said Clive Whiteside, vice president and site manager of Evonik’s Tippecanoe Laboratories. “At Evonik Tippecanoe Laboratories, our employees have a history of community involvement and we are pleased to be able to contribute to this event.”

We are humbled by their generosity in ensuring that there is equal access to the arts and culture throughout the region we serve. Their support of the Taste of Tippecanoe raises the funds necessary to provide needed programs and services to over half a million individuals. We simply could not do this without Evonik’s support and dedication.”
